Chapter 23: Like the Seven Princes of Qinglian

Naturally, the female dependents could not sit with the prince, so they were arranged to the side.

Among the princes, there are also factions, which is not surprising, some people want to please Mo Liang. Although it is true that Chu Changge is now the crown prince, but before the day of his accession to the throne, the prince always has the possibility of being abolished. No one can say for sure. And now what he likes his father is nothing more than Chu Changge, Chu Qingning, Chu Tingchuan, and Chu Xuhua.

Chu Xuhua is obviously standing side by side with Chu Tingchuan, so if the crown prince is deposed, the one most likely to become the prince is Chu Tingchuan. Therefore, there are many people who want to please them.

However, it is naturally up to those concubines to please Mo Liang, "My sister is so sharp and sharp, so that my sister looks at it and admires it." But when he spoke, he heard no response. I saw that the person who wanted to please was eating and drinking by himself, as if he had no distractions, and there was only this table full of wine and meat in his eyes.

If it doesn't work, keep up the good work. I don't know which prince's concubine thought so, and then exclaimed, and whispered, "But I didn't expect my sister's skin to be so tender and smooth, which made my sister so envious, but I don't know how my sister takes care of it on weekdays?" ”

"You're idle?" Mo Liang raised his wine glass and drank it all. To her, this ancient liquor was as tasteless as water. Hearing that the big Buddha finally spoke, the woman seemed a little excited and replied to the words that were not related to cattle and horses, "My sister is so arrogant, but it makes others envious, and she naturally looks down on people like her sister." ”

Mo Liang frowned slightly, as if she was very dissatisfied with this woman's closeness, and this woman was not answered, she didn't have the heart to deal with it, so she said coldly, "I'm not a man, you can go aside." After a closed door, the woman was a little sneering, and just stepped aside. Sure enough, it's not easy to approach.

However, women have always been gossiping, and sitting together will not stop for a moment. Therefore, except for Mo Liang, who has been drinking as if he was drinking alcohol, the other concubines are like sisters who have not seen each other for many years, talking endlessly. After all, it's not one person who serves, so naturally there is no need for any intrigue, guarding against each other.

Men are playful creatures, otherwise there wouldn't be any overnight romance or anything like that. A lot of fun things, I can't say it's just a game that men come up with when they're bored. Although these concubines are gossiping here, as soon as they hear any movement from the princes' side, they will be very tacit, and they all look over there.

I saw that the princes actually bent the pitcher, this is not a particularly interesting game, for Mo Liang. However, the pot throwing has continued from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, and it is still the most common game played by princes and nobles at banquets. After all, the winner can ask the loser for something, which is a rare opportunity for such princes with their own thoughts.

Chu Qingning is the protagonist of today, so he was naturally pushed up and took the lead in becoming one of the two people who threw the pot. The thirteen princes are not only greedy for sex, but also greedy for money. For these fun things, he already knew it thoroughly, and immediately went up with his hands, wanting to compare with Chu Qingning.

Mo Liang smiled coldly on the side, poured another glass of wine, took a sip, and watched the good show. The woman here had already been attracted away, and had been staring at the two princes standing in the middle, preparing to try the pitcher.

Anyway, it just so happens that these two people, she doesn't like anyone in Mo Liang, who loses and who wins, for her, it doesn't matter. Because the pitcher is to throw the arrow into the mouth of the pot, because the length of the arrow is about 80 centimeters and about one meter long, it is a bit difficult to control it well, it depends on the skill. It is much more difficult than ordinary pebbles and the like.

The thirteen princes looked like a fun master, and out of ten arrows, he was stunned to throw six arrows into him. Chu Qingning didn't seem to be very good at throwing pots, so he just put in three. I saw the thirteenth prince smiling, it looked really disgusting, "Second emperor brother, admit it." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Chu Qingning didn't show any annoyance because of the result of this win or loss, but he was quite indifferent. As for the things that the thirteen princes requested, it was actually the thousand-year-old ginseng that his father gave him a few days ago as a tribute from a foreign state. Chu Qingning's eyelids didn't jump, he just sent someone to get them.

Everyone gasped, they didn't expect that these thirteen princes really dared to speak, you must know a thousand-year-old ginseng, but it is difficult to get it, and it is so cheap to pick up the thirteen princes, some people are inevitably a little unhappy in their hearts.

Fortunately, this is just a banquet between princes, if the father and emperor see that these thirteen princes dare to ask for such a thing, they will definitely be reprimanded, and in the end they may be scolded, and they will not get anything. It's just that everyone is even more surprised that this Chu Qingning did not hesitate at all, that is, he gave this thousand-year-old ginseng to the thirteen princes.

"Second Emperor Brother has to compete again?" Someone next to him asked. Chu Qingning smiled loudly, waved his hand and retreated, "No, I can't afford to lose such a big thing." "It's surprisingly honest.

However, the thirteen princes were obviously greedy and excessive, and they actually wanted to win other things from other princes. If you want to say that you can be rewarded by your father, there are still four princes who are appreciated by your father. Chu Qingning had already lost the thousand-year-old ginseng, and there were only three people left. But these thirteen princes were not so bold to invite Chu Changge to come to the competition.

In this way, there are only Chu Tingchuan and Chu Xuhua. Compared with Chu Tingchuan, the Thirteen Princes felt that it was better for Chu Xuhua to bully, so he stepped forward and invited Chu Xuhua to come to the competition, "I rarely talk to the Seventh Emperor Brother on weekdays, why don't I use this to enhance my relationship with the Seventh Emperor Brother?" ”

This was said explicitly, and a few people snickered next to him. Because some people know that these thirteen princes are a guy who can do both men and women, so naturally they don't want to go to bad places. The thirteen princes were too proud, and they even forgot about Chu Xuhua personally seeing him humiliate that actor, otherwise how dare he provoke Chu Xuhua.

Chu Xuhua glanced at the thirteen princes in front of him, and then retracted his gaze and glanced at Chu Tingchuan. That indifferent appearance, compared with all the princes present, was suddenly isolated as a person between two heaven and earth. He is as vain as an immortal out of the dust, with a clean breeze and arrogant bones, while others are still ordinary people.

"Let's go, it's good to have fun." Chu Tingchuan was a rare gentle voice, and said to Chu Xuhua quite slowly. When Chu Xuhua heard him say this, the pair of beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, as if they were hesitating. But it was only fleeting, I saw him stand up, flick his shirt, his expression was still indifferent, but his voice was like a pearl falling on a jade plate, "Please, Thirteen Emperor Brothers." ”

The thirteen princes looked at Chu Xuhua like this, like in the cold winter, the Ao Mei who was not afraid of ice and snow, and his heart palpitated. In fact, if it weren't for his Seventh Emperor Brother standing in front of him, he would really have other thoughts. Such a dusty appearance that does not look like a mortal makes people can't help but want to get closer, and if they can, they hope to be able to humiliate him so that he can't keep so calm.

"Thirteenth Emperor Brother, please." It was that indifferent and nice voice again, but the thirteenth prince came back to his senses because of this, smiled wryly, and withdrew his eyes. When the concubines saw that Chu Xuhua was actually going to compete with the Thirteen Princes, they all whispered, "I have never seen the Seventh Prince participate in such a play." ”

"Yes, he always looks like that on weekdays, he looks like he wants to be close, but he feels that he is deliberately unfamiliar."

He started to gossip again. In fact, among these concubines, except for Chu Qingning's concubine, the other women like these four outstanding princes. Although she has become the concubine of other princes, it is inevitable that among them, some of them can look at themselves, just look at themselves, and the others can be left unwanted.

It's just that people are greedy. In their thoughts, just like all the concubines of Chu Tingchuan, of course, excluding Mo Liang, they have obtained the identity of Chu Tingchuan's concubine, but they want this person's love, and even the position of this person's main room. No one will be satisfied, only because of greed.

If it is said that Chu Qingning doesn't care about winning or losing, he is pretending to be calm, and Chu Xuhua really doesn't care about these things. He doesn't have any nostalgia for things outside his body, let alone extravagance, he just needs to live a frank life. However, it is not yet known who will win or lose.

However, the thirteen princes were very confident. Because he firmly believes that Chu Xuhua's temperament must be disdainful of playing such games. Moreover, at every banquet, he had never seen Chu Xuhua come out to throw pots with them. Therefore, by this inference, he believes that his victory or defeat is even greater. Even Chu Qingning only invested three.

In fact, except for Chu Tingchuan, perhaps everyone thinks that Chu Xuhua is bound to lose. Because Chu Xuhua had never touched this kind of game at all, how could he win against the Thirteen Princes? Almost everyone went to see the competition with this mentality.

Chu Tingchuan still looked at it with such a casual expression, looked at it with a smile, then took a sip of sake, and glanced at Mo Liang not far away. Mo Liang seemed to feel the gaze, and his gaze was also cast. He threw a look at him a little playfully, and was disgusted by Mo Liang.

The Thirteen Princes were already eager to try, but Chu Xuhua was still so tepid and unhurried, and he didn't take this competition seriously at all. For a while, the two people standing in the middle had a stark contrast in their behavior.
